Federal Government declares June 12 as Democracy Day

In an unanticipated move, the Federal Government of Nigeria has declared that June 12 will now replace May 29 as a public holiday.

In a press statement released today, FG declared that June 12 – the day late presidential hopeful, MKO Abiola won the later-annulled elections – is “far more symbolic of Democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29”.

Additionally, late MKO Abiola has been announced as the winner of the annulled elections and will be posthumously awarded the highest honour in the land, GCFR.

Ambassador Babagana Kingibe and late SAN, Gani Fahewinmi will also be awarded GCONs.

Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Govt has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as Democracy Day. We have also decided to award posthumously the highest Honour in the land, GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola. pic.twitter.com/VyYftmvWKA

Kudos! Buhari by restoring #June12DemocracyDay in Nigeria has given Nigeria’s democracy a huge boost. This is more than good, it fulfiils the line of our national anthem: “the labors of our heroes past shall never be in vain”. #GodBlessNigeria#MKOLives

Nearly six months after social media users in Nigeria turned up en masse to share stories of the horrific treatment they face in the hands of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), it is clear that the government and police authorities have made no move to clip the wings of this terrifying unit.

Young Nigerians are now sharing new experiences and the conversation is heating up again, although there is still no hope of government intervention.

Dear Nigerian Youths, This is not funny anymore,never has been. SARS officials are after us, our freedom, peace of mind and the little income we make. You can’t drive freely in Lagos without being scared and dreading these people. It’s unbelievable. We can’t keep shut.#ENDSARS

I just returned from Ijebu last night and I am looking for the first SARS officer to test the potency of this stuff I have with me. Pls I am going out today, pls and pls stop me and harass me. I’d like to see you walk from Lagos to Ghana, to and fro for the next 40yrs.#EndSARS
